​The NPL was created to elevate and change the competitive youth soccer landscape by extending developmental principles espoused by U.S. Soccer into more age groups and clubs, by linking competition with player development and identification platforms, and by providing meaningful weekly competition culminating in the NPL Finals.

NPLs are independent leagues, unified under one national competition platform, and based on a common technical framework designed to improve long-term player development. The NPL provides a platform:

that allows players to be scouted and evaluated by U.S. Soccer National Staff and Technical Advisors;

that allow players to be scoute and evlauated by college coaches on a more regular basis

that is designed and structured by the clubs, based on the needs of the clubs; and that provides an avenue for qualification for the NPL Finals.
